Heil The Fin Dynamic Microphone for Live Sound Applications and Video Podcasting, XLR Microphone with Vintage Appeal, Wide Frequency Response, and Superior Rear Noise Rejection - Chrome/White

You'll need a cloud fluffer in order to get the sound you are looking for. It's an additional $150. On the video it shows a switch for the light. Well, no switch and my light isn't working. I have a quality mixer but I guess you need super quality to get the light to work. That sucks. But looks great and sounds great with the fluffer.

I’m actually stunned! I own many mics, including a KSM8, KSM9, and Super 55. The bass response and upper mids on this mic are sweet! Clarity! Character! Wow! This is not just another pretty face. This mic is legit and pro in every regard. AND...it’s just fun to use! I LOVE it!!!

Let's be candid; I bought this mic because it looks cool, and that's why you want it, too. I was worried that it would look goofy, but it doesn't. It looks fantastic, especially in a low light environment. I was also worried that it would sound bad, but it doesn't. It's quite comparable to the Shure SM58 most of us are using now. The only thing to warn people about is that it requires phantom power to light up, however the mic works just fine without phantom power (just not lit up). This mic also earned extra points with me by coming in a sturdy, foam lined case that's around the size of a small lunch box. Definitely the mic I will be using for all my live shows now.

I bought it because a podcasting friend recommended Heil Sound microphones (although he had not heard of The Fin). It's gorgeous, and captures good sound. It is a lot more sensitive than I need, and picks up every background noise. I was hoping for less peripheral sound capture. Have to keep the gain on my soundboard turned down to avoid that, and also run the noise removal feature in Audacity to get rid of the background sounds I can't avoid. Might be great in a soundproof studio.

Looks awesome in my home studio. Heavy built, very good quality. The included case is really good too. Sounding quality depends on your ears and choices. It really fits my expectations as non professional singer. Be aware that proximity effect is very important and a pop filter could be necessary for recordings.

This is the model of microphone that's used in the "may the odds ever be in your favor" scene of the hunger games. It's the chrome and white one and not the black one like I got. It lights up and sounds great.

This was working fine for a few weeks but is now having periods where sound drops out and I have to tap the microphone to get it to start working again. Attempts to contact the vendor for support have been thus far unanswered. Trying again today.

I bought this for voice recording and podcasting use. This thing sounds outright excellent- warm, but with good clarity, and not too bassy. Bonus: it looks awesome. If you're looking for a dynamic mic for voice work, look no further.

J'ai reçu ce micro le jour d'une répétition avec un groupe de rock et 2 jours avant un concert. Je l'ai donc testé immédiatement, et j'en suis ravi. Il a un très bon son pour mon chant, un bon signal, pas de larsen et le look fait vraiment son effet!

This is my second Heil Fin Mic...they are incerdible for the price, and the coolest mics ever.!

Spettacolare . Suono perfetto, anche live o in registrazione

Best mic I have ever owned. Makes an SM 58 sound like a tin can. And the looks....the weight...buy one! Been singing rock and roll for 40 years and this is the best. Great for recording too. And it knocks the oh-so-common Shure Elvis mic into a cocked hat too.

Beautiful, clear sound.
